Eid mubarak !!
Its 30 December, Eid in Finland !!


The most interesting part was.. on 29 December, I didnt know that its eid the next day!
I thought since at Dhaka Eid is 1st Jan, so here it will be one day before, 31st Dec.

Thanks God, For some reason, i called Belayet Vai,
N he was nt home..
His wife answered, and I came to know that tomorrow is Eid..

Damn..
I was almooooooost about to miss it .


How would U feel if just sleep all day in xmas day, and next morning, you jump out early from bed and figure out, everyone is done with xmas except u !!

Fweuuuh ! I was saved !


N the best part is, i have new clothes again !!


























A fotua from Dhaka sent by my "bestest" friend !




























The 'BOY-COT' winter jacket I bought on Eid morning !


Plus, A new pair of socks and under garment ( I think you dont need any picture, or do u?) :D

The bonus:
I have sat, sun, mon- 3 off days.. Wow.. that really broguht the feeling of Eid for me !!

Finally, I have already got a dinner gathering invitation from Gofur vai... sure to eat a hell lot Bangladeshi spicy delicous succulent juicy..(Ahem..let me stop) yammme food.

Yliopistokatu, Oulu , Finland
16:13

if you now come to Yliopistokatu, the place I live .. you will definitely feel the emptiness.
the huge parking places are naked with only a couple of cars..
No one walking around..
(of course there is no bird or cat or dog or anything living (except trees) around)..

The night is more interesting ..
All the apartments are pitch black..only 1/2 windows are telling some one, unfortunate, like me, are there alone..


All the dark windows saying every one has left for the xmas and new years eve vacation !

I found these pics from an old directory !!
St. Martin's island..
One of the most beautiful place in Bangladesh.. the "bestest" coral island !!!


There is nothing in the world, but splash of water !



Blue, green and purple !! The amazing color blend !

He couldnt understand my language, neither did i...
I asked (in bangla) whats is your name?
He said "Thui gai"
after couple of hours we figured out he meant he is a "Tourist Guide"


'
Sunny, warm, quiet, crowdless !





Miss my country !!


I think it was November/ December 2005

Jalal now lives on his own.
He lives in a rented house in Uttara, Dhaka.


He claimed find the best looking building there , and we will find him living there.
Sometimes even tv-drama-shooting takes place there !!

Anyways, lets come to the point.
Definitely you would like to know how to make money to build such nice house of your own !!

The owner of that fancy building has a business.

Antti was probably too lazy to go downstairs to light the cigarette.

























Antti caught opening the sunlight roof and smoking through that !!!! :D

Well, I got this idea from all the movies I have seen before.
Ppl wake up on the xmas morning with a grin..
run to the xmas tree and find gifts for them.


From Tuomas I came to know, its different in Finland!


After Sauna ( Steam bath) in the xmas eve, they open their gifts !!

Hmm!! Its not a bad idea to get gifts earlier :)

"
You fill up my senses
like a night in the forest
like the mountains in springtime,
like a walk in the rain
like a storm in the desert,
like a sleepy blue ocean
you fill up my senses,
come fill me again...
"

Eamon sang to me..
Yahoo messenger voice !

I never noticed that John Denver's Anni's song is so beautiful !!

Eamon, it was deep loong night..
Your voice from thousands miles away, from some corner of Dhaka city...
Touched my deep inside!!


:)

I HAVE LOST MY CAMERA A FEW HOURS BEFORE!

I still dont know how it is suddenly not in my bag anymore !
I was so much into it.. i think last hour I opened my bag countless times and couldnot believe the camera is not there anymore !

I m looking at my tripod and cant believe there is no camera to put it on !

I am afraid to believe its lost , gone !


Its just not in my bag ! I have lost it..
Have I just stupidly left it somewhere? ( Its not ez to leave such a favorite thing)
Have some1 stolen it? ( its not possible in Finland)

Last pic was taken in Railway station.

I discovered it lost in a cafe, stopped to drink coffee on way back from railway station, in less than an hour!

Kate, Shup helped me to search all around, the cafe, the road, the railways platfrom, inside the train.. its nowhere

I m not too strong !
These were taken just last night... using the darkness outside my window!

































































I lost the whole spirit...

I was saving money to go to another country...to visit a place ..

I m not sure if i can save now....



Just..just.. lost the spirit..
And I know I am guided by emotions...
This blog is temporarily shut down from today !

They have been taken from my city Dhaka..





















From the bus stand !! I couldnt move my eyes from those eyes !!




















The mother and three kids close to my home !! I wonder how r they now ( sigh)??





















My dad ! Totally lost with the gadgets !! He was so surprised to find that it is running without "being plugged in" when I brought my laptop from the room !
( I will thank him every time I press on my keyboard for buying the laptop for me)




















Dont laugh :)
(Around the university)




















A superb morning.. Our car on the highway toward the village !!
( I can almost smell the fresh air)




















The kid at my foot ( sigh)
The poor girl was soooo sweet !!
I tried to catch her face in my mobile.. but failed.
She took 1 taka only for measuring my weight !
(Botanical garden)




















The canvasar!
Have you noticed them when it is 33* celcius outside?



















Dont ask !! Just dont ask why on earth sis is doing that ?:D



















Yameee !!

The uppper floor of the absolutely empty Volvo double-decker bus


















World's most weired posters !!




















Living like a king !!
I was thirsty and water coming.. I didnt have to leave comfort of crossing the legs !!

I woke up early enough this weekend, just not to miss the whole of the daylight.
It is so short now !!

I woke up, brushed my teeth, put some clothes over whatever I was wearing and ran out of my apartment to take some pictures...of something. I had borrowed tripod from the office ! Felt like a pro while walking with that tripod in my hand and the camera bag on my shoulder :D

It was all cloudy and gloomy light..yet had fun for one hour and I had to stop, coz just by then, it became night !

It is about to start. Cameras on their tripods ready to shoot!


















Kate begins.. confident start! I dont know what the hell were happening in your mind at that moment, but surely, you appeared to be quite confident :)



















She is speeding up!



















Woooooowwww.. excellent ! COool !



















The master and the graduate !!!





















Excited friends congratulating and hugging!!





















Hey, U have just "graduated" :D in fire spinning



















Her master, Shup
